This was exactly what he had been talking about, and he tried to kick at one of the orderlies and just got his leg grabbed as he was pulled down with Luffy. This was exactly what he had been talking about and it was a darn good thing Luffy had that weird way of making you forgive him because Usopp had seen this coming as soon as Luffy started looking all sparkly-eyed in the first place.

"Luffy!" But Luffy apologizing like that felt wrong, a lot worse than charging into Certain Sedation, and Usopp found himself trying to pull Luffy free even after Usopp'd been yanked off his feet on the table and was sure to be the next sedated. "Luffy! Luffy!"

Luffy's eyes shut, and Usopp let out a noise that was half angry and half terrified but not quite a scream as the orderlies let Luffy sink to the floor for a moment while they grabbed Usopp. He tried struggling, but wasn't even looking at the orderlies, his eyes locked on Luffy's body helpless and drained of all the addictive energy that'd filled it moments before. His last dizzied thought was that the orderlies here were actually very professional, all things considered, because the bloody-nosed orderly pressed the needle into him so quickly and neatly it didn't even hurt. And nothing at all hurt after that.
